<p></p>
<p>Tiny bugs are causing some big trouble to South Plains sorghum.</p>
<p>The sugarcane aphid crossed from its namesake host crop. It spent some time in South Texas sorghum fields before traveling northwest.</p>
<p>In its new grainy host, infestations have quickly multiplied in more than a few fields area-wide.</p>
<p>“It’s starting to blow up in places,” said Pat Porter, an entomologist for Texas A&amp;M AgriLife. “It’s catching growers by surprise. This aphid can go from barely there to ‘Oh, my god’ in five days, which is unusual for an insect.”</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-02/sugarcane-aphids-wreaking-havoc-south-plains-sorghum" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2015-08-02/sugarcane-aphids-wreaking-havoc-south-plains-sorghum#commentsFiled onlineLocal NewsJOSIE MUSICOAgricultural pest insectsAgricultureAphidCerealsContact DetailsEnergy cropsFood and drinkGary PetersonPat PorterPerson Email AddressPhylaPorterQuotationSorghumSouth TexasSugarcaneSweetenersTexasTexas A&MTropical agricultureSun, 02 Aug 2015 20:38:52 +0000JOSIE MUSICO227471 at http://lubbockonline.com20 Under 40 Award nominees soughthttp://lubbockonline.com/business/2015-08-02/20-under-40-award-nominees-sought
